December 5th, 2017, marked the end of one part of my life and the beginning of another. It's bizarre, looking back, how vividly I remember first realizing I wanted to enroll in law school - standing outside of my quaint Baton Rouge cottage, surrounded by friends, PBR in hand - railing against the world in the wake of the Snowden revelations.

It's been a whirlwind of change ever since: moving across the country, enrolling at Cal Western, finding the love of my life, and diving head first into areas of the law that continue to fascinate me every single day. I'm a different person altogether than what I was three years ago, a better person, and as of yesterday, I'm a duly licensed attorney in the state of California - and I couldn't be prouder, more grateful for the opportunity to join such an illustrious group of professionals.

My law-school career is over. My professional career is just getting started. Hello world.

Another week, another neural net project! This time I trained a neural network using data I scraped from iTunes podcast directory - a total of more than 300,000 podcasts - to generate some novel names for a podcast I'd like to startup with the Internet Law and Policy Foundry. I posted the results over on Medium, check it out!

Thrilled to announce my return to This Week in Law this upcoming Friday, August 11th, 2017! It's been far, far too long since I've gotten the chance to talk legal-tech with such great friends. Tune in at twit.tv at 11am this Friday, or catch up later by subscribing to the podcast on Stitcher, iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts (and don't forget to rate/review us while you're there!)!

(Hopefully, for now at least)

I want to extend the hugest of congratulations and well wishes to all of my fellow JD's out there that just finished their respective state's bar examinations! It's been an incredibly stressful, busy and draining three months, but at long last our nightmare is over. Like all of you, I'm now eagerly (painfully) awaiting the results in November - but until then it's time for (1) a vacation, and (2) exciting as-of-yet unnamed developments! Stay tuned!

I recently learned that I have been selected to be among the 2017 class of Fellows at the Internet Law and Policy Foundry - and I can't tell you how excited I am to be among such great company. Please check out the list of other fellows here . These are among the best and the brightest young minds in legal tech and policy, and I can't wait to see what we accomplish. Stay tuned . . . I feel like a podcast may be coming our way . . .
